The Gift of Sensitivity: The Extraordinary Power of Emotional Engagement in Life and Work is a work of non-fiction in the motivational, emotion-focused, and social issues subgenres. It is suitable for the general adult reading audience and was penned by author Elena V. Amber. In this fascinating and insightful work, the author combines her personal experiences of being an emotionally sensitive person with a well-considered exploration of the quality of EQ (emotional quotient, or our level of emotional intelligence) and how it can be a massive asset to teams, workplaces, and life in general if fully harnessed. What results is a deep dive into the power and capacity of emotion, the most complex element of the human condition.
Author Elena V. Amber presents a really interesting work that provides an essential and highly accessible springboard for anyone accessing EQ for the first time. The work is well organized as a primer, with clear logic that builds on the simplest concepts and develops gradually into a fully comprehensive toolkit for meditative and contemplative work, both in the workplace and for individuals seeking to unlock their full potential and put their emotions to good use. Amber has an effective and engaging writing style that balances well-cited research topics with personal stories and highlights. This makes it feel as though the advice within is coming from a wise mentor rather than some corporate note sheet. Overall, The Gift of Sensitivity is certainly a recommended book that anyone who feels their emotions and sensitivity might be burdensome should definitely pick up to realize the gift of creativity and openness which they possess.
